Campaign Viral Chart: Carrie remake viral puts MGM on top

MGM, the Hollywood studio, has shot to the top of the most-shared ad chart this week with an online video promoting its remake of the 1976 film, 'Carrie', starring Chloe Grace Moretz.

Carrie: hidden-camera viral takes top spot in this week's chart

The hidden-camera ad, created by Thinkmodo, is set in an American coffee shop rigged with remote-controlled furniture and spring-loaded bookshelves. The set-up fools unsuspecting members of the public into thinking an angry customer is able to move things with her mind.

Elsewhere, two in-house GoPro ads have retained positions in the chart.

The "fireman rescues kitten" ad topped last week's chart and has been shared 85,704 times across the social web this week, moving to fourth position. It has been overtaken by the "smaller, lighter, mightier still" ad, which now sits in third place with 91,231 shares this week.

Meanwhile, Samsung offers a blast from the past with an ad from 72andSunny. The ad, shared 20,819 times, is a montage of clips from shows including 'The Flintstones', 'Star Trek', 'Power Rangers' and 'The Jetsons', where characters talk into their watches. Titled "a long time coming", the ad promotes Galaxy Gear, Samsung's "smart watch".
